One Match

Just One Match

Hello everyone, I hope your week is going well so far!

I had a thought, let's say you have one match of TT to watch and after that you cannot watch any more. If you could pick two players from anytime in history (in their prime!) to play against each other, who would you pick and why? Which match would be the most spectacular, or interesting? You can pick any two players, regardless of their gender or whether they played in the same era or not. It's not about who would win, but more about which game would be the best to watch!

I'm interested to hear your responses!

Very good question! Thinking well... I believe I would choose Waldner X Liu Guoliang. I know that there are some matches between them in youtube, but to watch each one at his peak level, live, in the playing venue... would be awesome for me!

Interesting! I thought Waldner would be a popular choice.

Personally, I think a great match would be Ryu Sung Min vs Xu Xin, both in their prime.

The footwork involved would be sensational.

Didn't that happen quite recently and you lost?

I also think Zhang Jike vs Waldner would be an interesting match. Speed and Power vs Contol and Placement.

Ryu Seung Min vs Kim Taek Soo or Timo Boll vs Dima

Fan Zhendong vs Waldner...wait FZD still can improve!

Boogar · Nov 29, 2016

Micheal Maze vs Xu Xin

With Maze playing without injury!

Wait, wut?

Seriously though, I wonder how Guo Yuehua vs Ma Lin would play out.

Garrison · Nov 29, 2016

Timo Boll vs Ma Long. On a good day Timo would beat anyone in his prime times, so I wonder if he could also beat ML in world championship form. Waldner vs any of the superstars today would be cool as well as his blocking style could still be very effective

I don't have to think about it. The match has already happened. I would want to see this match. I wouldn't change a thing. I get that I am ignoring part of what this thread is about which is matching up guys you would want to see play each other. And without this match, I would not think, Kong Linghui vs Joo Se Hyuk. But that is just how it worked out. This is the matchup and the specific match I would want to see: Kong Linghui vs Joo Se Hyuk at the China Open in 2003:

Look how fast they both are. They both look like they are on crack. Look at how close the games are. How many games go to deuce. How the match goes right down to the wire. For me, this is the match.

I will go on the lines of Carl , but I would like to see an olympic final with Ma Long vs Zhang Jike , both their prime physical condition , exactly like they were in the famous Austrian open final ...

Yecats Encerwal · Nov 30, 2016

Also, Zhang Jike vs Victor Barna would be interesting!

JoshGSY · Nov 30, 2016

A peak upsidedowncarl vs a peak Yecats Encerwal would be fantastic

On a serious note - Oh Sang Un at his best vs FZD would be a thriller!

I had a few matches in mind, but they were of non-famous players, but you opened the doors now

I still haven't peaked yet, so me in 2 yrs vs you, Yecats, Shuki or JeffM -- instead of a 9 pts handicap, i will accept a 5 pts handicap

LOL at me!
